Description

Photocell front substrate and substrate are used for the purposes in photocell front
The present invention relates to photocell front substrate, especially transparent glass substrate.
In photocell, the electro-optical system that has at the photoelectric material of generation electric energy under the incident radiation effect is placed between back substrate and the front substrate, and this front substrate is that incident radiation arrives first substrate that passes before the photoelectric material.
In photocell, when the main arrival direction of incident radiation is considered to top-down, this front substrate towards generally include below the first type surface of photoelectric material be positioned at below the transparent electrode coating that electrically contacts of photoelectric material.
This front electrode coating so configuration example such as photronic negative terminal.
Certainly, this photocell also comprises the electrode coating that constitutes the photocell anode subsequently on the orientation substrate overleaf, but the electrode coating of back substrate generally is not transparent.
In meaning of the present invention, term " photocell " should be understood to mean any component-assembled part that produces electric current by the solar radiation conversion between its electrode, no matter the size of this assembly how and regardless of the voltage and the intensity of the electric current that generates, particularly no matter whether this component-assembled part has one or more internal electrical connects (series connection and/or in parallel).Therefore " photocell " notion in the meaning of the present invention equals " photovoltaic module " or " photovoltaic panel " in this article.
The material of transparent electrode coating that is usually used in the front substrate is normally based on the material of transparent conductive oxide (English is TCO), for example zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) that mixes based on indium tin oxide (ITO) or based on aluminium or boron doped zinc oxide (ZnO:B) or the tin oxide (SnO that mixes based on fluorine 2: material F).
These materials chemistry depositions, for example CVD (PECVD) that strengthens by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), optional plasma, or physical deposition, for example by cathodic sputtering, sputter (the being magnetron sputtering) vacuum moulding machine that optional magnetic field strengthens.
But, desirable electricity is led or desirable more rightly low resistance in order to obtain, must with about 500 to 1000 nanometers and even higher sometimes big relatively physical thickness deposit the electrode coating of making by the TCO sill, when they are deposited as the layer of this thickness, consider the cost of these materials, this is expensive.
When sedimentation needed heat supply, this further improved manufacturing cost.
Another major defect of the electrode coating of being made by the TCO sill is the following fact: for selected materials, its physical thickness be all the time the final electricity that obtains lead with the final transparency that obtains between trade off, because physical thickness is high more, conductivity is high more, but transparency is low more, and on the contrary, physical thickness is low more, transparency is high more, but conductivity is low more.
Therefore, for the electrode coating of making by the TCO sill, can not optimize the conductivity and the transparency thereof of electrode coating independently.
Photronic method is made in the prior art instruction of International Patent Application WO 01/43204, wherein transparent electrode coating is not to be made by the TCO sill, but constitute by the stack of thin that is deposited on the positive board main, this coating comprises at least one metal function layer, especially based on the metal function layer of silver, at least two antireflection coatings, each self-contained at least one antireflection layer of described antireflection coatings, described functional layer is between these two antireflection coatings.
The method is characterized in that when considering that it enters the incident light direction of battery from the top, it is depositing at least one high refracting layer of being made by oxide or nitride below metal function layer and above the photoelectric material.
The document provides exemplary, wherein surround two antireflection coatings of metal function layer, promptly be positioned on the orientation substrate below the metal function layer antireflection coatings and with the antireflection coatings above the metal function layer of being positioned at of substrate opposite side, each self-contained at least one by high-refraction material, be zinc oxide (ZnO) or silicon nitride (Si in this case 3N 4) layer made.
But this solution can further be improved.
The absorption of observing the normal optical electric material differs from one another, and the inventor attempts to be identified for defining the required basic optical characteristic of stack of thin (being used to form the electrode coating in photocell front) of the above-mentioned type.
Therefore the present invention for photocell front substrate, comprises the light path of determining to obtain best photocell efficient according to selected photoelectric material.
Therefore theme of the present invention in its widest meaning, is the photocell with absorbability photoelectric material as claimed in claim 1.This battery comprises the front substrate, especially transparent glass substrate, it comprises on first type surface by comprising the metal function layer, especially based on the metal function layer of silver, the transparent electrode coating that the stack of thin of at least two antireflection coatings constitutes, each self-contained at least one antireflection layer of described antireflection coatings, described functional layer is between these two antireflection coatings.About four times of the optical thickness of the antireflection coatings below the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings above the metal function layer with the substrate opposite side equals to be positioned on the orientation substrate metal function layer.
Therefore the optical thickness that is positioned at the described antireflection coatings of metal function layer top is preferably 3.1 to 4.6 times of optical thickness of the antireflection coatings that is positioned at metal function layer below, comprise these endpoint values, or even the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings of metal function layer top be 3.2 to 4.2 times of optical thickness that are positioned at the antireflection coatings of metal function layer below, comprise these endpoint values.
In addition, preferably, equal the maximum absorption wavelength λ of this photoelectric material at the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings below the metal function layer on the orientation substrate mAbout 1/8, equaling the maximum absorption wavelength λ of this photoelectric material with the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings above the metal function layer of substrate opposite side mAbout 1/2.
In an advantageous variant, the maximum absorption wavelength λ of this photoelectric material mYet use the solar spectrum weighting.
In this modification, this photronic being characterised in that, the absorption spectrum that equals this photoelectric material at the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings below the metal function layer on the orientation substrate multiply by the maximum wavelength λ of the product of solar spectrum MAbout 1/8, the absorption spectrum that equals this photoelectric material at the optical thickness that is positioned at the antireflection coatings above the metal function layer with the substrate opposite side multiply by the maximum wavelength λ of the product of solar spectrum MAbout 1/2.
Therefore, according to the present invention, as the maximum absorption wavelength λ of this photoelectric material mFunction, or preferably multiply by the maximum wavelength λ of the product of solar spectrum as the absorption spectrum of this photoelectric material MFunction, determine optimum pathway, to obtain photronic best efficient.
Solar spectrum mentioned in this article is the AM1.5 solar spectrum by the ASTM standard code.
In meaning of the present invention, term " coating " should be understood to mean the layer that single or several different materials can be arranged in this coating.
In meaning of the present invention, " antireflection layer " should be understood that: from the angle of its character, this material is nonmetal, promptly is not metal.In the scope of the invention, this term should not be construed as introduces restriction to the resistivity of this material, and it can be conductor material (common ρ<10 -3Ω .cm) or insulating material (common ρ>10 9Ω .cm) or semi-conducting material (usually between preceding two values).
Fully surprisingly, can obtain improved photocell efficient according to the light path of the electrode coating of the lamination with function thin layer of the present invention, and improved tolerance to the stress that produces in the battery operation process.
The purpose that centers on the coating of metal function layer is to make this metal function layer " antireflective ".Therefore they are known as " antireflection coatings ".
In fact, although this functional layer can obtain the desirable conductivity for this electrode coating alone, even when little physical thickness (about 10 nanometers), described layer will hinder light strongly to be passed through.
Under the situation that does not have this antireflective system, at this moment transmittance will be low-down, light reflection too strong (in visible light and near infrared ray, making photocell because it relates to).
Term " light path " has specific meanings and the summation of the different optical thickness of the following neighbour of the function metal level of the interference filter that is used to represent make thus and last neighbour's various antireflection coatings in this article.What remind is, the optical thickness of coating equals this material when having only individual layer in coating physical thickness multiply by the product of its index, or the physical thickness that equals the material of each layer when having multilayer multiply by the summation of the product of its index.
Light path according to the present invention is the function of the physical thickness of metal function layer on absolute sense, but in fact, in the physical thickness range of the function metal level that can obtain desirable conductivity, it is constant.Therefore, when this functional layer based on silver, be individual layer and physical thickness when (comprising these endpoint values) with 5 to 20 nanometers, solution of the present invention is suitable.
The type of stack of thin of the present invention is the glass pane that the thermal insulation with raising of " low-launch-rate (bas-é missif) " and/or " day photocontrol " type is made in known being used in building or automotive glazing field.
Therefore the inventor notices, some lamination that is used for those types of low-emissivity glazing is particularly suitable for making the electrode coating that photocell is used, particularly be known as the lamination of " hardenable " lamination or " to be quenched " lamination, i.e. used those when hope makes the supporting substrate of this lamination stand quenching heat treatment.
Therefore, an also theme of the present invention is to have the stack of thin that the architectural glazings of feature of the present invention is used, especially this class lamination of " hardenable " or " waiting to quench ", the low-launch-rate lamination of low-launch-rate lamination, particularly " hardenable " or " waiting to quench " is used to make the purposes of photocell front substrate in particular.
Therefore, an also theme of the present invention is through the purposes of this stack of thin of quenching heat treatment and has stood the purposes of the stack of thin that the surperficial heat treated architectural glazings with feature of the present invention of the type known uses from french patent application FR 2911130.
Term " hardenable " lamination or substrate should be understood to mean in meaning of the present invention and keep basic optical character and thermal property (representing with the resistance per square directly related with emissivity) in heat treatment process.
Therefore, can for example on the same front of building, will comprise all the quenching substrate that covers with same tier and close to each other the putting together of glass pane plate of the substrate that do not quench, can not be distinguished from each other by the simple range estimation of reflection colour and/or light reflection/transmission.
For example, before heat treatment/substrate that has the lamination of following variation afterwards or be coated with lamination be regarded as hardenable because these variations can not be discovered by naked eyes:
-less than 3% or even less than 2% low transmittance change Delta T L(visible light); And/or
-less than 3% or even less than 2% low light change of reflection Δ R L(visible light); And/or
-less than 3 or even less than 2 low change color (in the Lab system)
ΔE = ( ( Δ L * ) 2 + ( Δ a * ) 2 + ( Δ b * ) 2 ) .
" to be quenched " lamination or substrate should be understood to mean the substrate through covering in meaning of the present invention optical property and thermal property are acceptable after heat treatment, and are unacceptable before, or in no case are all acceptable.
For example, do not satisfy before heat treatment having following properties after the heat treatment in these characteristics at least one lamination or the substrate that is coated with lamination in the present invention, be regarded as " to be quenched ":
-at least 65% or 70% or even at least 75% high transmittance T L(in visible light); And/or
-less than 10% or less than 8% or even (in visible light, pass through 1-T less than 5% low light absorption L-R LDetermine); And/or
-with the same at least good resistance per square of conductive oxide (r é sistance par carr é) R commonly used , particularly less than 20 Ω/, even less than 15 Ω/, even be equal to or less than 10 Ω/.

If this front substrate behind the stringer and before it is assembled in the photocell through heat-treated, quenching heat treatment especially, the substrate that is coated with the lamination that serves as electrode coating may have low transparency fully before this heat treatment.For example, it can have before this heat treatment less than 65% or even less than 50% the transmittance in visible light.
Importantly, this electrode coating was transparent before heat treatment, and had as at least 65% after heat treatment, even 75%, more preferably 85%, or more specifically at least 90% the average light transmission of (in visible light) between 300 to 1200 nanometers.
In addition, in the scope of the invention, this lamination is not to have best as far as possible transmittance utterly, but has best as far as possible transmittance in photronic background of the present invention.
